Work Keys for the Employer

Printer-friendly version

Does your business have a need to reduce employee turnover, overtime, and waste? Do you provide a system that meets ISO 9000 standards and ensures quality business practices? Do you have a need for a legally defensible tool; one that defines skill requirements for specific jobs and takes the guesswork out of the selection process?

WE CAN HELP!

ACT, Inc., has long been a leader in providing action-oriented assessments used for educational and career planning and decision making. ACT, Inc.'s WorkKeys, a Registered Trademark, is a job profiling system that helps businesses identify the skills and skill levels employees must have to perform particular jobs effectively.

WorkKeys is ACT's response to the challenge of creating a national system to upgrade workplace skills (e.g., Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, Listening and Writing, Locating Information, Applied Technology, Teamwork, Observation and Business Writing).

WorkKeys gives individuals a clear picture of the skill levels they need to qualify for and be successful in the jobs they want. When used with the assessments, instruction, and reporting, job profiling allows students and workers to make decisions about appropriate jobs and to identify areas they need to strengthen in pursuing their education and career goals.

WorkKeys Job Profiling is conducted by job analysts who have been trained and authorized by Work Keys industrial/organizational psychologists.
